Find a few fun image or text generators to play around with and write a post in your blog about one of your favorites, displaying the result, too. With some image generators, you can just copy and paste the code from the generator right into your blog. With others, you might have to right-click your new image, save it to your computer desktop, and then upload it using your blog's image button.<br /><br />As always, if you have any difficulties, ask a friend for help!<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Discovery Resources</span>:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.imagegenerator.org/">Imagegenerator.org</a><br /><a href="http://www.wordle.net/">Wordle.com</a><br /><a href="http://bighugelabs.com/flickr/">fd's Flickr Toys</a><br /><br />Find some others by searching Google for image generators, text generators, etc.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Discovery Exercise:</span><br /><ol><li>Play around with some image generators and find one that you like.</li><li>Post the results of your discovery process on your blog.</li></ol>Be sure to include a link to the image generator you use so other participants can discover it too!
